PRAISE GOD !

This morning I made the best decision of my life a public declaration. One I always watched others make while I was in the shadows.

I didn’t fix my life. I SURRENDERED it.

I grew up being told, and understanding that you should go to Church, and you should be a Christian, but I never really knew what that meant. I saw it as another box to be checked off, or another chore that I had fallen behind on. I thought that just because I showed up some Sundays, and I opened my Bible here and there meant that I was a Christian and I should be saved. I was riddled with anxiety, doubt, insecurities, and depression. I faced deaths, injuries, heartbreaks, and battles. I tried to handle everything myself. I was lost and alone. I was far from the Truth.

One night I was sitting on the edge of my bed. I felt like my back was against the wall. I had tears blurring my eyes, thinking that this was it. I didn’t know what else to do. I opened my nightstand looking for something I shouldn’t have, but it was not there. The only thing I saw was my Bible. This was the beginning of my New Life. Instead of turning away from God and trying to fix everything myself I opened my Bible trying to read and hear the Lord, but I couldn’t because of my tears. I had another chance to turn away but I didn’t, instead I dropped down onto the floor and began to cry out for the Lord.

That’s all God wanted, a relationship with me. He wanted me to acknowledge him. He wanted Trust and Communication. Commitment and Faith.

Since that day, he has forgiven me for my sins, and delivered me from my struggles. He turned sad tears into happy ones. He healed parts that I didn’t know were broken and he has guided me to places I didn’t know existed.

This Baptism is a public declaration of my decision made in private. To surrender my life to the one who has already paid for my sins and to be reborn in Christ, not because I have it all together, but because I TRUST the one who does !

If you haven’t began your relationship with Christ, I urge you to come to church and get involved ! And if you are lukewarm, on the edge of your beliefs, here’s a verse for you.
